Former Detroit mayor ordered to jail

DETROIT — Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who was convicted in 2008 for obstruction of justice, will spend this weekend in prison for 14 parole violations, a state corrections spokesman said Friday.

Kilpatrick is to report to the Detroit Reentry Center on Friday afternoon and will be released from custody early Monday, Michigan Department of Corrections spokesman Russ Marlan said.

The ex-mayor still owes Detroit $855,000 in restitution and is required to report gifts and other income as a condition of his parole, something officials say he has failed to do on a number of occasions.

The state alleges that Kilpatrick failed to report money transfers to his wife, Carlita, in September, October, and November, and that he did not disclose a complete account of his monthly household expenditures and income for those months.

Officials have expressed concern that Kilpatrick is hiding assets that could be applied toward the restitution he owes.

‘‘Additional charges and/or sanctions could be possible should new information on potential parole violation behavior come to light,’’ Marlan said in a statement.

Kilpatrick, a Democrat whose mother is former US representative Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, was elected mayor in 2001. He resigned in 2008 and pleaded guilty to obstructing justice by lying in a civil case about having sex with an aide.

He subsequently served 14 months in prison for violating his probation in that case.

Kilpatrick, who also is on trial on public corruption charges in federal court in Detroit, did not comment when he arrived Friday morning at the US courthouse downtown. A message seeking comment was left with Kilpatrick’s lawyer, Todd Flood.
